I was born and raised in Queens, New York by two-amazing women, my mother and maternal grandmother. As a young girl I knew I had to work hard for what I wanted because that is what I saw my mother do as she worked 2 jobs and earned her master’s degree in night school. My grandmother was an entrepreneur before I even knew what an entrepreneur was. She made money babysitting the kids in the neighborhood, and by selling her baked goods. As a kid, all I knew was women work hard and took care of their family.
As a child, I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian but that quickly changed once I learned I was allergic to cats. Other than that, I never gave much thought to a long-term career; I just knew I wanted to work and be good at whatever I did. Living close to Queens Center Mall from the age of 16 I worked in retail, I started in the stock room and worked my way up rather quickly. I was an Assistant Store Manager by the age of 19 and managed two stores. I had my daughter Maya Flo at 21 and decided to change careers to learn new skills and dabbled in administrative, marketing, and ended up in the gaming/hospitality field at age 23. In my late twenties I went to college and gain my degrees in business fundamentals and management. Due to the pandemic in 2020, I no longer work in the gaming/hospitality industry and decided to stay at home as I grew my family and welcomed my little gem Mariah Sara. As the year is coming to an end I am ready to return to the workforce. I’m excited to explore a childhood dream of mine which is construction and property development; It took me all these years to finally explore a passion of mine.
As I’ve gotten older, I have learned I like leading, and managing people and projects. I wish I knew earlier in life what I know now, but I know it is never too late to start something new. In 2018, I decided I wanted to create a business with my good friend Endrich. Endrich and I decided we wanted to create something we wished was around when we were younger, something my daughters and upcoming generations could benefit from.
